TrafficPRM, a full-service online marketing firm, and Aegis Professional Services, a multi-service advisory firm to businesses, have announced a joint webinar that will cover the legal and ethical boundaries of social media and online marketing. The webinar, Social Media, Meet Federal Regulation, will be presented by online marketing expert Jenny Dibble, principal at TrafficPRM, and Mariquita Barbieri, a specialist in marketing law at Aegis Professional Services. The event will take place on Tuesday, May 22, at 11 a.m. CST/12 p.m. EST.

To register for the webinar, anyone can go to the registration page. Attendance is open to the general public.

Many small- and medium-sized businesses have begun social media marketing without fully considering the legal and ethical implications. Simple actions such as responding to a post on a business Facebook Page or asking customers to post reviews on review sites can impact a business both from a branding and legal perspective. The webinar is unique because it combines experienced points of view from legal and marketing veterans, and will help attendees make the most from social media platforms in a way that still protects their brand.

“Small- and medium-sized businesses often think they are immune to FTC compliance online, especially with social media, because of their size. This simply isn’t true and one misstep can have serious implications. If a business is on Facebook or Twitter, or thinking about engaging in social media in the future, this is a must-attend webinar,” said Dibble.

Social media marketing is an excellent way to brand a growing business, but business owners should be aware of how to market the brand ethically and legally on the Web.

This webinar will teach all stakeholders marketers, agencies, brand managers, and other influencers the vocabulary and practices of risk management to face a regulated social media industry, said Barbieri.

Attend this webinar to learn how to:

Monitor A Brand: How to seamlessly monitor mentions of the company, brand, and offerings online.
